    Anybody from the club made a statement yet or do they think its best to stay quiet. No doubt once again heads in sand ar5es in the air
    Time looks like we will be getting shafted again with the lack ofPR.
    i for one think the least they can do is give us a explanation or two. What we are witnessing is not acceptable but yet it appears to be from within. I know i harp on but the more that seems to unfold and the less that is said in my opinion from the club points to the ship being run a ground. I hope im wrong,
    By being quiet this problem is not going to go away no doubt they hope it will.
    But then again the straw that broke the camels back for many took place before this poor run. Just like the we didnt know how good he was comment to the falling gates story do they honestly think we swallow every piece of bull they come out with
    Yes im being critical but it appears to me that rome is being allowed to burn as we speak
    It really pees me off how they are managing to treat us all like fools and yet expect us to buy into the NEW plan when clearly its not working
    But then again is it .... Full steam ahead forget the iceberg warnings ....

    Key board warrior no doubt i will be labeled by many but i can honestly say that what i type id say / ask to those in power whom i criticise And hold responsible for the troubles at oakwell

    Rant if you want to call it that over
    Trouble is like many i care

    Club just loading up the Howitzer ready for an announcement before Praise or Grumble.

    Just hoping Lee Jay and his mate will be blasted a considerable distance away from the Well ! :p

    What are you expecting them to say?

    Sorry we're losing games. We know Lee's out of his depth too and we're looking for an adequate replacement?

    We should have signed older players in the summer?

    What will it achieve

    Agree totally with Archie. Isn't like we have zero points and five players

    Exactly!

    The silence suggests we potter on regardless an see what happens.

    If we lose the next 2 games do we still keep pottering on?

    Were in the Division 3 relegation zone , 6 losses on the bounce , the team can't score , defend , the atmosphere at home is stone dead , season ticket holders are not even bothering to turn up . The manager looks lost for ideas , the entertainment and match day experience is a joke . I like yourself spend thousands of pounds following this club all over.

    I'd like to know their thoughts on our current predicament but most of all I'd like to know what the plan and long term strategies are at the club to turn this around.

    The club is dying on its arse but BM has suddenly turned mute.

    And 8 members of our first team squad are out of contract or their loan ends in the next 2 and a half months.

    If the club decided on a youth policy and on waiting a couple of years and putting up with bad performances while Lee Johnson completes his plan then by keeping quiet they are acting shockingly in my opinion. If they agreed to this plan then they need to back the manager and say that this was expected or at least it isn't a million miles away from what was discussed in the short term.

    it reminds me of Blackadder (4th) this.

    All the brave 'tommys' in the trenches (the fans) waiting to keep going over the top (turning up to watch) while the clueless buffoons (current bfc management team) are sat in the boardroom guffawing over the scotch like Stephen Fry.

    Keep trying the plan which has not worked all season cos the opposition will not expect us to try it again will be the thoughts of Leejay and TW.

    if it weren't OUR club, it would be laughable

    No season tickets to sell, that's why Bens gone mute. It will be interesting to see how they sell next season to us come next May.

    But what are they actually going to say? If they come out and say they're backing Lee they'll look daft if they don't, and get hounded if they do. The long term plan was to recruit young players with a resale value. Unless that's changed then I don't think a statement saying that this is still the plan is going to do any use. Just all seems a little counter productive dwelling on it.

    So we sit here and just wait , with no explanation or anything from the board while the clubs drops and drops . They were quick to name and shame people who didn't renew their season tickets on social media without there say so , but now we're buried down in the **** they go missing . Time for the dreaded vote of confidence as the lack of public backing gives the feeling they're hanging LJ out to dry.

    Explanations of what though. I think I'm missing the point? Why were performing badly? what we're doing to improve it? It just seems a bit pointless.

    I agree in regards to the shaming of people who haven't renewed, that was in bad taste.

    But I don't think anyone will feel better about the club after we've had a statement regarding current affairs.
